Online learning content

Our online course content is based upon the same content you'd find in our traditional classroom courses, optimized for self-study and including more explanations. Each online workbook includes code snippets and graphics to illustrate the text and aid learning. Each unit also includes a knowledge check, an opportunity for students to validate their comprehension of the material before moving on to the Online Lab. Students are given immediate feedback as to whether or not they understand what they have just been taught. The course book can be viewed from a mobile device as well as a laptop or desktop computer.

Online learning labs

For Online learning, we provide the same high-quality, robust lab environment as our traditional classroom courses. Students can expect to spend as much as half of their time working on hands-on labs. These labs are delivered over the cloud via the same platform we use in our Virtual Classroom training courses. Because of the robustness of these labs, this is the one component of our online learning that must be conducted via a laptop or desktop computer.

Online learning webinars – for select courses

For additional knowledge, students have access to approximately 30-40 pre-recorded webinars on a variety of topics. Webinars range from 5 to 20 minutes in length and are conducted by senior Red Hat instructors, examiners, and members of our curriculum team. Our webinars can be viewed from mobile devices, as well as a laptop or desktop computer. Online learning webinars are not available for every Red Hat course.

On-site team training

Private team training at your offices, in our classroom, or online

Available for our entire curriculum, on-site training solutions offer flexibility and cost-effective team training options whether at your offices, our training venues, or hosted in a virtual environment. Your team will benefit from discussions, examples, questions, and answers that are relevant to your organization. Plus, bundled cost savings for class fees and elimination of travel costs save you money.

On-site training details

Red Hat recommends on-site training when your organization has between 6 and 20 employees who fit the prerequisites and audience profile for a particular course. Before arriving on site, Red Hat assists your technical staff to ensure the training venue is prepared to run Red Hat products, courses, and exams.

Course tailoring options

All Red Hat courses consist of modular instructional units. Modules from up to 2 courses within the same curriculum may be combined without time compression to meet your individual requirements. Additional fees may apply.

Individual Exam Sessions delivered on site

We can deliver a kiosk to your location (8-day minimum) so that your system administrators, engineers, architects, and developers can certify their skills related to Red Hat products. We offer a low daily rate for usage. Setting up an Individual Exam Session kiosk at your location is simple, and registration support is provided to help you get started. Learn more.

High-definition classroom training experience

Available in select U.S. locations, remote classroom training lets students learn in a Red Hat-authorized training facility, while the instructor teaches class remotely via video conferencing.

Video conferencing with a live instructor

Through video conferencing, remote training students receive an industry-leading training experience. Each classroom has a 52" television that incorporates two-way video and audio with a live instructor. Students see a live video stream of the instructor's lectures, and the instructor can see the remote students in their classroom.

The continuous audio feed lets students ask questions and participate in the class at all times. Online interaction between the students and the instructor lets the instructor view the students' lab computers and assist them as necessary.

Benefits of remote classroom training

Remote classroom training enables students to attend a local classroom course, reducing travel costs and avoiding delays due to low-attendance cancellations.

Includes online interaction between the instructor and remote students on their classroom lab computers

Labs are the same hands-on labs included in our Red Hat Online Learning courses, and they provide the same high-quality, robust lab environment you would find in our classroom and virtual classroom courses.
